Pleased to have secured Committee support this morning to examine how we can emulate projects like #OpenBotanic in other parts of the city through the Car Free Sundays model. I’m not convinced that just opening up retail is what will make Belfast lively on a Sunday.

Great to see some of our #KindEconomy chefs featured in this @BelTel article about Sunday’s #OpenBotanic festival! 🥙🥗🧆
Thanks to everyone who came down, and to all who shared our call for public authorities to investigate the link between paramilitary and racist violence ✊

Thousands of people turned out on Belfast's Botanic Avenue today for the annual Open Botanic Festival, which brings together people of all backgrounds and ages.

What a fantastic day at #OpenBotanic It highlights how vibrant, inclusive and enjoyable our city could become if we reimagine our public spaces and prioritise people and communities over cars. Well done to @ForwardSouthPB and everyone who helped make it happen. Can we have this every weekend?? 😍

Another incredible day at #OpenBotanic - showing our city can successfully make space for people & communities. Well done @ForwardSouthPB. The SDLP will continue campaigning for more Car Free Sundays, Playful Streets & School Streets for a cleaner, fairer future for Belfast.

Last year at #OpenBotanic, South Belfast said NO to racism following far-right attacks on businesses in the area.
The #KindEconomy will be back at Open Botanic this Sunday 15th September, bringing solidarity (and delicious food) to South Belfast again! 💛

2016, we invited Ballymacarett Flute Band to perform with a Sri Lankan beatboxer a @BeatCarnival festival in Belfast. Although successful, the representation of Marching Bands at 'Multicultural' events hasn't happened on the scale we hoped.
